Who I Am

I guess some questions are hard to define Like the desert landscape I’ve changed with time I’ve spent my life dealing with a monkey A dope cook, convict, a worthless junkie A prison gang member, nothing to lose Then one day I stepped out of those shoes Decided to change whatever the cost Prove in this life, hope is never lost 42-years of living the wrong way I turned to the Lord and gave it away I am old and gray with wisdom for truth I hope that I can enlighten the youth I serve Jesus Christ for he is my Lord Picked up my Bible and laid down my sword I’m a student who truly loves to learn I reckon in this life, I’ve earned my turn I’m a man who truly adores my wife Guiding my kids through the trials of life A born again christen able to see A poet’s heart is bubbling in me Everything a man could be in this life Serving my Lord in honor of my wife A man who made use of all his regret I’m the morning sunrise, evening sunset
